Does this device shuffle ALL songs, not just within album or artist folders? I want an ALL SONG shuffle. And can you create/upload playlists?

it has an "In Order" or "Shuffle" feature. I have given this to my daughter after I purchased a smart phone for myself. But I really enjoyed it and my daughter did too, before she too replaced it with an iTouch. Here is a link to provide you with more information. It's from a vendor, but they charge more for this than amazon. BUt it does have a pdf for the manual of this Coby. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/647188-REG/Coby_MP826_4G_MP826_MP3_Player.html

It doesn't come with them you just kinda got to figure it out by playing around with it. A few notes of what I have learned so far: It only plays mp3 firmat . It plays in numerical to alphabetical order in file name. As far as I can tell there is not a shuffle option only a repeat all or repeat song. If you remove the SD mid song and then put it back in it will start from were you left off unless you turn it off.

Mine always restarts the last song played before unplugging. There must be an internal charge that holds the memory. I have not figured out how to change to "shuffle" mode. The display shows different modes available. I don't have enough buttons on the unit or remote to access modes unless there is a secret button press combination needed. If anyone finds a way to change to shuffle I would like to know.

I haven't tried that but I'm pretty sure you could. I personally use an 8GB SD card. However, it doesn't show the sub-directories and also there is no shuffle. So what I did was basically put all my songs in the root folder which works pretty well.

Hi there. Yes, there's a shuffle control so you can play songs randomly (which is one of the things I really like about it!)

The "Shuffle" option plays the exact same playlist each time the Soundfly is powered on. Mine begins with 1638, 1759, 1829, 0603, 0528, 1537, 1534, etc. Is there any way to change this order? It's sad to have over 2000 songs on a 16GB SD card and hear the same songs over and over (and over, and over). I can't believe a product that is excellent in so many ways could be lacking a way to randomize songs. I wouldn't like this with audio books, but for music I would think it's preferred. Thanks!

Yes, there is an option to run in a random shuffle mode. I use it exclusively since I use this while running.

Does it have a shuffle?? I thought I read no it didn't then someone giving advise on a shuffle feature for this product...shuffle or no shuffle. It seems to be an issue with the songs playing through??

no, once you choose one that is the one you are in, it doesn't go to the next artist or album in sequence. (And won't skip to a new artist or album even if you shuffle.) The way to include many and various is to create a playlist and then shuffle that if you'd like, so it skips around and mixes it up.

It's either plays ALL the songs in alphabetical/numerical order or just one song. There's not a random option. I have it set to play on song only ..... and when I get bored of that song ill make it play another ONE song. Hope this helps. :)

I'm sorry, I just read the other responses. I thought you were referring to the capability to 'shuffle the songs.' I haven't tried it but don't see why not. It worked for my playlists. Unfortunately I have it in my classroom and wont be able to try it until Monday, August 5, 2013.

Yes. You can play your songs in alphabetical order or select Shuffle and the player plays them in random order.

I have not tried playlists. You can add folders containing music and play from there but it will still play all music. I'm gonna try a playlist tonight and see if it will only play that.

Yes you can set the songs to shuffle. At the bottom of the screen to the right of the "open" icon there is another arrow which will bring you to another screen. If you choose mode that will allow you turn on/off the shuffle feature and choose whether you shuffle within the folder or all songs.

It is very easy you just go to play modes and click shuffle. You can also set what artist or genre and also play everything including internal and external then shuffle it all. Can't rate this DAP highly enough.

Yes, it does. The "Shuffle" feature is easily activated in the menu settings.

you just have to load indiviual songs on in the order you want. The shuffle is a very simple device: play/pause, volume, and skip/reverse
